Stroom, a Savant Build Cohort 2 company, has secured grant funding!
Cape Town, South Africa — 30 Oct 2024 —We are excited to announce that STROOM, a trailblazer in last-mile delivery, has received grant funding from P4G. The company is transforming urban logistics in South Africa by offering lightweight, durable cargo e-bikes specifically designed for the unique challenges of our local terrain.
Addressing Local Challenges
STROOM specialises in designing, manufacturing, and deploying cargo e-bikes for last-mile delivery, with a strong focus on South African townships and city centers. In these areas, traditional delivery vehicles often struggle due to narrow streets, high fuel costs, and limited access to affordable transportation solutions. STROOM’s eco-friendly cargo e-bikes provide a cost-effective alternative that empowers micro enterprises engaged in last-mile delivery.
By targeting township-based businesses, STROOM addresses the logistical hurdles they face while promoting sustainable transportation. Their locally manufactured e-bikes are tailored to withstand the rigors of South Africa’s diverse environments, making them ideal for navigating tight spaces and rough terrains.
Empowering Businesses with Zero-Emission Transportation
STROOM’s commitment to zero-emission transportation aligns perfectly with the growing demand for sustainable solutions in urban logistics. By providing a comprehensive support package, STROOM lowers the entry barrier for small delivery companies, enabling them to enhance their delivery capabilities without compromising on environmental responsibility.
The impact of STROOM’s innovative approach goes beyond just improving delivery logistics; it also fosters economic empowerment within the communities it serves. By supporting micro enterprises, STROOM helps to create jobs, stimulate local economies, and promote environmentally friendly practices.
